That's great, I also didn't know it existed. The only thing I need to check is if it will copy the updated values to the archived ipa.

No it doesn't, if you ensure it will run only on "Release". When you deploy an app to a device via Xcode, unless you specify differently, it will compile in "Debug", so that won't cause an increment. Every iPad will have the same build.

The script runs only when you Archive.

What do you mean? Do you want to read the build number on runtime? There is a way to do that, when you put them in the plist, just run [[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary][@"CFBundleVersion"] to get the NSString.

In the post, there is a workaround for the increment at each build/run. You just need to be sure to run the script only in Release
